Severe losses for water utilities on two fronts prohibit statements about drinking water!
A) Since April 2021, drinking water may no longer be advertised as "healthy".
(Landgericht Landshut AZ 1 HK O 2132/20) from April 14, 2021)
B) Since December 2020, drinking water may no longer be referred to as the "best-controlled food product".
(Landgericht Hannover AZ 18 O 178/19 from 07.12.2020)
The Association of German Mineral Springs (VDM) was able to convince the Landshut Regional Court that natural mineral water and tap drinking water are in a competitive relationship as food products. This "tactical move" was a prerequisite for prohibiting water utilities from stating that drinking water is "healthy". Since this ruling, competition law applies. As a consequence, this means that water supply companies must comply with competition law regulations and may no longer advertise their tap water as "healthy".
A blow of comparable magnitude against German drinking water suppliers was already achieved by the VDM in December 2020.
The bottled water fillers successfully took away the legal basis for water utilities to make the statement: "Drinking water is the best-controlled food product". Under the listing of reasons for this decision, the ruling states, according to a blog by a front group of the mineral water industry: "With the one-sided positive presentation by the water supplier, a false sense of security is suggested to the consumer, who could rely unconditionally on the quality of the tap water obtained."
On the website of the Federal Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety, the phrasing "best-controlled food product" is no longer found, but only the statement: "Water – A particularly strictly controlled food product".
The Hamburg Consumer Center appears to have missed this attack entirely. On their website, they have continued to repeat the prohibited statement about drinking water since July 2022. The Hamburg consumer protection advocates do not surprise with the dissemination of misinformation all too much, because on the topic of water filters, they also seem to have "missed the shot" more than once.
In the same message in which Hamburg consumer protection spreads the myth about drinking water that has been banned for almost two years, it also makes this misleading claim: "Water filters also filter out the healthy components of tap water". Leading scientists around the world prove the opposite; they have repeatedly established and demonstrated that water that is as pure as possible, preferably even ultra-pure water, is best for the human body. Dr. Charles Mayo (1865 - 1939) from the Mayo Clinic in the USA is just one of them. He said: "Water hardness (inorganic minerals in solution) is the real cause of many, if not all, diseases that can be traced to poisons in the intestinal tract. These hard minerals pass from the intestinal walls and enter the lymphatic system, which delivers all its products to the blood, which in turn distributes itself to all parts of the body. This is the cause of many human diseases."
